Every time I read about a past writer’s impoverished family bkgnd (eg Brontës) I realize they were born too early and would have killed it on Instagram Reels

This would not normally be a Thing except I turned the corner and immediately found her in *another* painting, by a completely different artist, stuffed and displayed in some IRL Flemish beardo’s wunderkammer… who IS she

Also: I found this little Pokémon in a typically ornamental 17c Flemish view of Paradise and I genuinely do not know who she is. I know what all the other fowl of the land and fish of the sea are in this painting bc I’m problematic

Love Hiroshige’s dudes tbh. Just lots of quality lil dudes. Check out these sumo wrestlers being ferried across the river

Went to the Hiroshige exhibit at the museum and one of the prints had very good cats

Spring is here every year when they put up the Bad Birds sign
